Jim, I am going with the children in this photo being the children of John Gill and Agnes Walsh and that the photo being labelled as c.1940 should be c.1950’s. If you have got your info from roots Ireland then I suppose I’ll have to subscribe as you find into that I don’t have access to using ancestry.co.uk. If you find or can think of anything else than you please let me know, but thank you for now for all your input.
Helen,
Civil birth record for photo:
John Francis Gill, born August 2nd 1949 to John Gill, Camp, Oughterard and Agnes Gill, formally Walsh in the Central Maternity Hospital, Galway.
Mary Josephine Gill born January 7th 1948 in Camp, Oughterard to John Gill Camp and Agnes Gill formerly Walsh.
If you wish to get baptism sponsors you will need to contact the Parish office in Oughterard.
Regards,
Helen,
I will check at my local Registration Office to see if they are recorded and get back to you.
Regards,
Sorry for the delay; I can’t recall receiving a notification of your answers.
roots ie is quite costly esp as I subscribe to ancestry.co.uk and BNA; & uping it to include the US would be even more. I use Ancestry as my tree is on it with most importantly my attached docs which I can’t take to another site. Anyway. If/with my John Gill, b.1915 & Agnes Walsh, married in 1946 as you say, the date of the photo c1940 for their children, John & Maura above, must be wrong. Likely more c1950. What do you think? And should I cough up & join roots.ie?
Helen,
What Line are you researching?
Subscription Site http://www.rootsireland.ie has a number of “John Gill” marriages in Kilcummin:
John Gill marriage to Bridget Fahy April 30th 1832
John Gill marriage to Bridget Mary “Melby” (Welby) March 19th 1843. Witnesses: Martin McDonough and Hon Maxwell
John Gill marriage to Sarah Shonassy (Shaughnessy?) September 21st 1845
There is baptism record for a Patrick Gill with the father John Gill and Mother Mary Mealy – June 3rd 1854.
Sponsors: John Mealy and Margaret Gavin.

Helen,
Please see the Irish Census for 1901 and 1911.
An Honor Gill, daughter of John Gill, Eighterard married a Peter Fahy of Lemonfield on January 16th 1905.
You may find descendants in the townland of Cregg.

Helen
There is a restriction on the years in which Births, Marriages and Deaths are published online.
You will need to contact the Secretary, Kilcummin Parish, Oughterard, Co. Galway for the baptism records.
Subscription Site http://www.findmypast.ie has a partial record of a Mary J. Gill for the 1st quarter of 1948.
Her mother is recorded as “Walsh”, Her father’s name is not recorded.
Regards,
Thank you all for your very kind help. But …! Another request: I have quite few John Gills, often father & sons, so finding their wider family is important in separating all the Johns. And mine invariably marry a Mary which makes it even harder (esp without their maiden names). Eighterard is so small that I think every Gill I find is an ancestor! Can anyone add any more context to help me sort out my conundrum in relation to the lovely photo above.
Thank you. But … I cannot find a Gill born from 1946 onwards, so can’t find Maura (Mary?) or John Gill as the children of John Gill and Agnes Walsh.
I can find a Michael Gill, born 1919, likely brother of John at his 1946 wedding , and Mary Gill (Maura?) born 1917, all siblings of John in the photo; at irishgeneology etc.
Any idea where I am going wrong?
Civil Records for Oughterard, County Galway have a John Gill of Eighterard and Agnes Walsh of Magherabeg having married in Oughterard on January 31st 1946.
Father’s Names: John Gill and Patrick Walsh.
Witnesses: Michael Gill and Agnes Walsh.
Regards,
Does anyone know their parents names please? I would be made up to know. Regards.
John Gill & Agnes Walsh
